2nd pregnancy showing?

MrsWilson2013 · December 2012

With my first pregnancy I woke up at 18 weeks and all of a sudden I pop'd out. So my question is to the moms of 2 or more, how much sooner did you show with your second baby? In my mind I am thinking 12-14 weeks this time, but I just don't know.

This exactly. Maybe just bloat but I'm definitely wearing my fat jeans slung under my belly. And when I was plucking my eyebrows tonight, I had to put my belly over the counter, lol!

When I say showing I mean obvious baby bump, I am already bloated for sure.

I get looks in public. You know, the "Is she pregnant or does she carry her weight in her belly?" looks.

Yeah...in the evening of course I have wicked bloat...however in the mornings it is clear to me my waistline is already changing. But I anticipate a more permanent bump that will be obvious to my friends and family is gonna show about 9-10 weeks with baby #4, there is just no hiding this sucker! ;P I have had 9 pound babies all three times (regardless of what I gained with each pregnancy) - my DH was a 10 pound baby so I guess I am destined to birth bigger babies like he was. So anyway, my uterus and stomach muscles don't have the same tension they once did...lol.

This was me at 12 weeks with DD....

And now at 8 weeks 4 days this time around...

Sorry the pictures are so big, I couldn't get them sized right for some reason.

Awwwwhhhh, cute bumps!

Ninjamom3 · December 2012

I'm 6.5 weeks and I'm showing. Bloat forms my belly a different want than the baby bump does. I'm already in maternity pants! Oh, this is or 6th pregnancy but hopefully baby 4. We just recently told friends and family about the baby because with the warm temps I can't hide the bump under sweat shirts anymore.

By the end of the day most days I look five months pregnant. It's not exactly showing, but it sure looks like it. I'm hoping no one asks before Christmas...

This! I'm heading to the Gap this morning to but maternity pants for work with my 40 off coupon. My maternity pants with DS are too big I weigh less now then my starting weight with him and I'm sick of unbuttoning my pants every time I sit down.

I didn't show until 20 weeks last time. I'm feeling the bloat majorly this time. We will have to see.

karen0477 · December 2012

My first I was around 20 weeks, my second somewhere 14-16 and this one, I though for sure would be by about 8!!!! I was soooo bloaated around 7-9 weeks, but this past week seems better, I am still in my jeans. I have extra reserves this time though, so I am trying to really eat healthy and keep an eye on my weight gain. I know my mom has bought me some maternity clothes for christmas so I am hopeful I can contain this belly for another couple of weeks!!!!!

thismplsgirl · December 2012

I needed maternity pants and jeans at 20 weeks with my first pregnancy. I'm 9.5 weeks and I hope I will make it until 14 weeks this time. I am bloated and feeling it though... maybe I should bite the bullet and order a black Bella band... just not sure if I would like it since I didn't have one last time.

solsburyhill · December 2012

I compared pictures to my first and I look like I did at 18 weeks with him.

I've given up trying to hide it and now I wear stuff that shows it off so people understand that I'm pregnant and didn't just randomly blow up in the past 2 weeks.

CarlaAndJames · December 2012

I'm definitely already getting "is she pregnant or fat?" looks from people. I told my group at work yesterday and one of my coworkers said "I was thinking yesterday you looked like you had gained weight!" Thanks!

SMac85 · December 2012

Last time I started showing around 18-20 weeks. This time I'm very sick and have actually lost weight so I'm still in regular clothes and haven't had to resort to the hair band trick yet. I'm expecting it will happen in the next couple of weeks though.

I've noticed this too! I am almost 10 weeks now and my gut is starting to stick out more than my boobs! Still haven't told work!

Guillerma · December 2012

I've asked quite a few moms of 2+ this question because I'm trying to hide it at work for as long as possible, and the standard answer seems to be about 4 weeks earlier with each subsequent child. (In my totally anecdotal study!) I really started showing around 16-17 weeks first time around but started wearing maternity pants around 12-13 weeks. This time I've started needing to wear maternity pants (or the Bella band) around this week, so that puts me about right on track for showing at 12-13 weeks... Hoping not though. I'm starting to look different though, definitely. My waist line is gone and I'm more "square" than curvy. I am having to be careful about what I wear- lots of layers, tunics and loose sweaters. Hoping I can keep it under wraps until end of January (15-16 weeks).

I'm about 6w4d preggo with our 2nd and I'm definitely feeling it more this time! I haven't really gained anything but I'm eating everything I see and my belly feels like it's bloated. I feel it in my pants and work shirts too!
